This Friday, March 14th, Mind Matters opens at UCSF’s Sandler Neuroscience Center on the Mission Bay campus. I’ll be there from 2 to 5pm with my collaborator, Gautam Agarwal, a neuroscientist at UC Berkeley. Our work, Spatializing Waves, is an installation that includes two large prints and several videos. The title refers to both Agarwal’s work making connections between brainwaves and spatial understanding, and our own work examining and creating material waves that are related to brain activity.

Spatializing Waves makes connections between electrical waves moving across the brain and other waves found in the material world. Waves in our world take on a variety of forms: they are periodic and chaotic; natural and artificial; borne of photons, molecules, cells, humans, and cars. The project examines how similar phenomena are found at vastly different scales arising from unique mechanisms, making speculative links between our own brain activity and the rhythms of the world.

Then on Saturday, Land and Sea will be releasing a new book entitled OVERVIEW, full of 79 Risograph artist prints at Et Al in San Francisco. Included in this beautiful object is collaborative print I made with Katie Hargrave. Stop in between 6 and 9pm to check it out:
